Domestic fun - NOT!

Okay, here is the deal. It all started with computer problems: my main PC was beaten by the lat est attemt of Norton self-update and decided that it doesnt like the Internet anymore, so if I switch it on, it kills the connection. As I don't want to reboot my modem every time, I am mainly using my laptop now. Which is also ages old, doesn't like Firefox and is slow as molasses. Clearly, I must invent in a new PC... assuming my neighbour can manage it before Christmas. *sigh*

Then my satellite receiver died on me. Attempts to deal with the situation have been made in the last, oh, three or four weeks. So far no results.

And then today my beloved new bed, a mere two years old, broke under me. Well, not the bed as such, only the wooden grid holding the mattress, but it is bad enough nonetheless. A carpenter friend offered to come over tomorrow and take a look. I hope he can help, because a new grid would be complicated to get and to install.

About minor yet annoying health problems I refuse to think at the moment. But they are there.
